GUEST,julia L Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words (80* d) RE: Londonderry Air's original (Gaelic?) words 13 Jul 11


I have over 24 sets of lyrics to this melody, with more surfacing all the time. I had not one, but two elderly ladies sing me their (different) summer camp songs which had been written to this tune. I think it is perhaps the very moving melody that is perennially appealing and transcends the lyrics, maudlin or not.

So, are there Gaelic words and if so could someone please post them?

best- julia
